Welcome to week six – our third week of blended learning! We feel that we’re all beginning to get the hang of it!
Like last week we will be teaching the extension work in school, try doing the extension work if you’re at home but if it is too tricky then you can access the BBC learning. We will help you if you’ve been working on BBC Bitesize at the start of the week when you’re in school for Thursday and Friday.
Leavers Service at Blackburn Cathedral
Last year we were lucky enough to go to Blackburn Cathedral and take part in a leavers service. This year the cathedral has put on a virtual service which can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34BDWxEp5Ic&feature=youtu.be
Mrs Thomas would like to include something about this service in the celebration assembly on Friday, after you have watched the video can you provide a response that could be included such as poem, prayer, video message, song, artwork and send it in to us.
